Early BC Sundays

These aren't the most exciting pages, but they are rare and clever. My favorite Sundays are the ones where Hart draws wild action and crazy physics - but these (in the link) all have really good continuity and a real sense of controlling time. Hart, like Don Martin is an expert at getting you to feel timing using only still pictures in continuity. That is a skill that not all cartoonists have.

I got lost digging through all this eye candy that you linked, John. I just liked all the surprises and twists and turns that Hart manages to provide in each of those strips, and on top of that, some very hilarious, clever drawings. I can't really think of that many cartoonists who can do that anymore.
